Since we didn’t camp out like the faithful Twihard fans we knew it would be a crap shoot showing up to the premiere in Westwood with a gaggle of girls, but UC needed to at least get a glimpse of Rob to make sure this last year wasn’t just a crazy psycho dream and these people that we talk about every day actually existed and since this we be my um.. forth time seeing Rob I was more than happe to give it a go! So we hauled booty over to where the entire fandom seemed to be converging. On our way we heard both KOL’s Sex on Fire and Miley Cyrus’ Party In the USA and knew it was an omen for good things ahead. Once we parked and headed towards the madness we saw Mr. Kaleb Nation aka The Twilight Guy headed in search of more glitter paint or maybe it was a restroom but we flagged him down and finally met someone we had been Twitter stalking for the last month. Another omen.

After that we pushed our way up to the barricade and ended up right across the street from the theater and the end of platform where the radio DJ guy was interviewing everyone as they showed up. We were also conveniently located next to at least two sets of crazy protesters. Why they thought the NM premiere was the optimal place for their protest posters and high pitched screaming, I’ll never know.

So here’s pretty much what happened…

We showed up to the premiere…

Look who was happy to see us!

Ok… ok… just kidding! I mean they were happy to see us they just didn’t know it.

Some lovely gal took our picture… right as a news van drove by and cut out the theater in the back ground! Thanks.

We were surrounded by crazy, loud, cool, and some totally awful fans…
obviously Rosalie Cullen got lost and ended up near the theater with her red wig

Robsten lives… in this 12yr olds heart

Follow the cut for a TON of pictures and video and crazy protesters and hot Rob and us!

For some reason this woman decided to show up and annoy the HALE out of every person in a 3 block vicinity of her chimpanzee scream. Everyone yelled at her to STFU but she wouldn’t so being the good bloggers that we are we gave her what she wanted: ATTENTION!

Now I’m all for ending the war in Iraq and bringing home troops but let’s choose the correct forum to talk about this in, NOT the NM premiere were you scream bloody murder every 5 seconds. Sadly, she wouldn’t scream on camera for us so we decided to make her famous instead.

Finally the stars began to arrive
Gil Birmingham arrives with his lucious locks and what first appears to be a gold lame dinner jacket under those whacky lights. We later find out it’s just a leather jacket with some horses on it. HIGH FASHUN!

Kellan, ever the Twilover that he is showed us some love by coming over to hear us scream his name sign autographs and show us love. Too bad we couldn’t do a prom pose picture, that stupid barricade and a couple twihards were in my way

Jackson making us all weep over his gross mid 90s wanna-be grunge black dyed hair, pilgrims pride look while Ashley SHUTS IT DOWN in a KILLER read dress (arguably the best of the night) and a proper weave. Oh and Kellan looked good as always

Rob showed up and I would post the video but that would be wasting everyone’s time as it’s mostly a shot of the backs of the peoples heads in front of me since everyone surged forward as if moving a millimeter would get them closer to his holy presence. PUH-LEASE you’d be closer if you sniffed a dry bottle of Heineken.

WTF?! This isn’t the liquor store! Who are all these people?

Heh, heh! Gotcha! I totes knew we were at the premiere all along

Rob then made us love him even more when asked by the radio DJ/premiere host/interviewer guy (techinical name) what he wanted to say to the people who had been camping out for days and he said “You are all insane!” Oh Rob, we love you more and more each day.

Taylor showed up and it was much the same but Team Jacob was in full effect and started a crowd chat just for him…
Sadly, Big Daddy was nowhere to be found. We were heart broken. He must have been next door at McDee’s picking up a couple filet-o-fishes to go since fried cod goes better with a movie than a bucket of popcorn does. #TRUTH

Movie Premiere Ken and Barbie show up… I mean Taylor doing his best Madmen impression while KStew did her best hair styling victim in a wind tunnel look…

Near the end of the evening we noticed another set of protesters…
Awhile back we tweeted about receiving an email from a people’s communist party and how Communism related to Twilight and well what do you know, they decided to show up to the premiere too! Too bad they weren’t being loud and annoying we could have made them web-lebrities too!

Some other stuff happened… they all went inside. The Britpack was there, Tom Stu got detained at the door but finally let in, most of the stars stopped to talk to a couple specially abled folks near the entrance with Rob taking a good amount of time to pose for picture and talk with them! All together now: AWWWWWWWWW!

Tweeting is for winners… and everyone we knew! Ubertwitter/twitterberry and every other twitter client was FAIL! We overloaded the circuits with our brand of hilarity

Camera batteries are dead, phones are dead, our feet are dead, we need a diet coke get us OUTTA HERE!

Oh hey there Jared Followill from Kings of Leon with Ashley Greene! Go on with your bad self!

We cruised next door to grab something to eat and drink cause we were famished and as it turns out the restaurant had a great view of all the limos pulling up to take the stars from the premiere to the after party. So we ended up getting to see Nikki Reed (by herself), Ashley Greene and posse including date Jared Followill (yes, THAT Jared Followill, Kings of Leon Jared FOllowill. Lucky biotch!), Stephenie Meyer (whom UC and I missed be a nano second. She was the one person I wanted to see above all), and Rob who ran out by himself. As we walked next door to meet up with some of our posse who should talk out but none other than Dick and Clare Pattinson and family! They might seriously have been one of the highlights of our night. But I would have jumped a barricade to meet Big Daddy though, NO LIE!

SOMEDAY!!! we will meet this woman... SOMEDAY!

After that we were tuckered out but not before making a few loops at the after party to see if it was worth trying to crash. We heard there were real live caged Wolves in there so instead of sticking around to see who would get mauled (Hint: Dakota’s little sister) we sped off in search of high speed interwebs and a cozy bed with an Edward pillow.

Bottom line: No Buttcrack Santa, no Cathy Hardwicke and no Solomon Trimble bum rushing the barricades. FAIL. But we had an amazing night seeing the world premiere red carpet event for New Moon, being with our awesome sauce readers, meeting up with fellow bloggers, hearing first hand accounts of the movie from Jen at MyRobPattinson (her videos are amazing! Get ready!), and generally just soaking it all in.

We’ll keep you updated here as we get more stuff uploaded, linked, figured out but for now it’s almost 4 am and I’m a tired Moon so I’ll leave you with this for now!

Meant 2 Bee ;)
Themoonisdown

PS don’t miss UC’s letter to Rob about losing her virginity! For serious.

Want more rad pics from the event? Head to Socialite Life. That’s where that amazeballs Mike/Justin pic came from

Awwww, so jealous!!
I’m just glad it was daytime here in Oz so I could read everyone’s Tweets/see all the pics/blog about it all!
Sounds like awesome fun! LOVE Kristen’s dress.
And Dakota’s! Tres gorgeous!

So not only did you see ROB and the entire twi-crew in the flesh but you saw JARED FOLLOWILL AS WELL?! By far my favourite Followill due to the thrusty bass action he pulls at the beginning of Crawl (sexiest song evah)! I’m so pleased Ashley Greene is getting the recognition she deserves from someone worthy of giving it to her (that what she said).

Glad you had a good night ladies, I’m not even jealous today, I’m just happy for you!

okay. i just wanna say thank you… so… THANK YOU!!!
you two gals were sweet enough to “bring” us a little 1st hand account of something that most of us would NEVER get to experience. i actually do appreciate it. (spelling errors and all… hee-hee) that was so neat. i am giddy for you and aren’t you glad you didn’t camp out? b/c Rob didn’t call you crazy. HA! you ARE normal! Yea! :D

Lucky lucky lucky you. Hope you had a ball (that’s what she said) I am really really sorry but it must be said WTF was Stephenie Meyer wearing? I know beat me whip me stone me (please) but come on she is so pretty normally, what was she thinking.
Why why why are you not actually writing more about the film I am salivating
xx

Ok, after getting a closer look at it, I am amending my previous statement. It’s not so great. I will say that I like the idea of the top, like from the waist up, but the designer just did not make it work.

Yeah, Stephenie looked terrible in the full length shot. Whoever went shopping with her should have been a little less “yeah, you look great” and a little more “um, maybe that’s not the best dress for your figure”

Stephenie has such a pretty figure and the close ups of her (her face, her hair) were beautiful… but the dress – ouch! Please Steph you are hot, no need to wear something that has so much coverage and is straight out of the….erm, 1700s! ;)

I can’t tell you how proud I am that I read a blog run by women who show up, planless, right before the premiere instead of getting stinky in a tarp tent four days in advance. The only way it would have been a better story is if you had gotten arrested for jumping the barrier to have a flannel intervention with Rob and Kristen.

In hindsight, I have to believe that I would not have camped out for four days even if I had the chance. For one, WHY would I waste all that Calitime on a sidewalk w/people whose attitudes and hygiene were no doubt deteriorating neck and neck? For dos, my sister lives nearbyish and would indeed have pulled some kind of shameful intervention before allowing me to be at one with the Rob Mob. And finallly, it would have crushed a tiny part of my soul had Rob looked in my general direction and uttered the word ‘insane.’

Well said. For sures a healthy balance between admiration and irreverance. That’s what makes you all so wonderful. You appreciate and take the piss out of it all at the same time. Makes me feel like I”m not a dorky tween fangirl. (Just a slightly less dorky liger fanwoman maybe?)

I know!! that anya was awful all the time, the stupid questions, the stupid hair, the stupid outfit but mostly the stupid voice!!! OMG how did she get to be in the soundtrack?? They should hire UC and Moon to interview next year.

Anya cracked me up with all of her retarded hitting on the guys. Awkward sauce when she got caught saying Taylor’s ass was hot right when he came up on stage behind her! And the everlasting plugging of her song on the soundtrack, good times. As it was the only way I got to see the red carpet, I’ll take it, but she was for sure more entertaining than the usual slick ass, boring as hell commentators they usually have on the red carpet.

Thanks for the play by play UC and Moon, I was following you guys on Twitter as I watched, it was interwebs magic! I’m so in hate with you guys cuz I’m jealous, but two more days til I get to see the New Moon midnight premiere in suburbia!!!!

The live feed was awesome ONLY cause of twitter friends…and of course the breakdown afterwards…
Am officially deleting Anya from iPod and recording a cover…(bathroom has exellent accoustics!)

Am in the depths of despair cause of livefeed…its like coming off a sugar rush…and of course skinny tie porn (call ma tay, i know things to do with that skinny tie that the swift can only dream of)
Wish i was going to the movie with u guys…
no idea how i will get through buttcrack santa if noone else gets the joke….

even grey Suit, tight shirt, teeth porn, hot baskets of butt Tay could only make me smile for a minute (sob) what do i do?

Thanks Xylem ur such a doll…his laugh…THUD
and when he takes off his jacket DOUBLE THUD

I slipped off my twi-prude ring to watch the clip…i was depressed…like Bella only sluttier….(i hope oher twi-prudes understand it was that or a whole tub of ice cream)
Im not gonna comment in detail about the clip but HOT DAYUM! Fueled a whole load of dirty dreams that one….think i need some air…

I am with you, girl. That clip was so worth a hiatus from the twi-prude ring. It will most certainly hold me over since I won’t be able to watch the movie until my fellow Twi-Friend arrives from NY on Friday.

I think Mr. Fursploded might divorce me after he witnessed the crazy last night. I had 4 different websites up and I was trying to follow all the tweets like a maniac. I had MTV on in the background trying to watch that (sucky) love bites show at the same time (no DVR) and then later, Taylor on Jay Leno (adorable). There were screams from the computer from the twi hards and screams from me everytime the live feed froze up….and more screams from me about the stupidity and famewhorishness that is Anya Marina (seriously, I will never buy one of her albums after listening to her for 3 hours last night). I hate what Twilight Saga premiers turn me into. And by hate, I mean love. This is the best week of the year.

woah. that was… umm. i’ll just call it overwhelming but entertaining. you might wanna take it easy today though… rest up… hold off on the coffee… i’m sure you need to recoup after all that! ;) when i read that i felt like i was right there w/ you… that was great… “And by hate, I mean love” = <3

P’raps Mr. Fursploded and Mr. totheP could form a support group. My Man watched about 1/3 of Twilight Love Bites with me last night before scornfully declaring it complete shit. I had to agree it was hard to watch Cougwicke sell out Robsten, and the entire show was so recycled I felt “green” just watching it.

La Cougaracha defs needed to take a horse tranquilizer and chill out on that show. Holy crack attack! And all of the “clues?”. Psh. I get it. Tortured. Angsty. Sexual tension. Meh. Them eye effing each other in public doesn’t concern me.

SO is seriously thinking of divorse as I made a wee joke about joining the mile high club if the Robster is on my flight to NZ and he was not amused and got all antsy and insecure. come on it’s just a game…

Me, too! EXCEPT, when they mentioned how many people read the blog, and then you factor in how many additional readers the article will draw, and I considered how many times I post on here – instant paranoia!

*nervous laugh*

If you are reading this right now and think you know what the S and the P stand for, I assure you, you are WRONG. It’s not me. It’s Sarah Polley.

StotheP. As in “H to the izzo. V to the izzay.”
One of Jay-Z’s most popular songs, “H.O.V.A.”
No, I don’t listen to Jay-Z, although he’s a lovely boy and I’m sure his momma is proud of him for doing so well with the music stuff.

BUT, once upon a time I heard the refrain and it just stuck with me. I am a white girl stuck in BFE who knows bupkiss about rap. I’m neither a gangsta nor a badass, but I do read Emancipation Proclamation and Clipped Wings & Inked Armor, so the potential is always there.

The S and the P are some of my initials. Thank me that it’s not StothePizzo.

@StotheP: okay lemme clarify. i totally got the “to the” gangsta ref (i went through an, ahem, “wiggity-wiggty-wack” time period in the mid 90s)… that wasn’t what i meant. i just wanted to make sure that the S and the P weren’t refering to something specific that i wasn’t getting. i had previously thought that it had a possible reference to your name… wasn’t sure. (but your reply was a hoot!) :D

@TeamSeth I always read “sloth” too. At first I thought she was making a statement about being a relative latecomer to LTT/R, and then I shook the cottonballrobLSDtrip that was (is) my brain and re-read. And from now on StotheP you shall be my StothePizzoooooooo :D I love it.

I was so excited, too! They hit all the hot spots – UC & Moon, AngstGoddess003 (who outted her real self, poor thing), and the Office and The Submissive/Dominant fanfics. It was as if someone asked me what an article about twilight online should be about. Congrats UC & Moon!

also, how amazingly lame am I pop culturely that I didn’t even know anything was going on last night? Just the premiere, and that’s only ‘cuz of this blog. haha. So when I say I don’t watch and read anything at all, you can rest assured that it’s true.

We’ll have to call each other Friday after your viewing. I’m seeing it again on Friday. I may or may not be intoxicated.
I’m super excited about our mutual bonding. It’ll be like we’re drawing fireworks for 4th of July. Or having a Twilight reading party. Like the old days. ::tear::

Deff will call on Friday…soooooooo excited!!!!!!!! Twilight reading parties were fun….ah the good old days. Also fun- when we first started reading Twilight and we wrote each other emails at work that were highly analytical insights to Twilight. lol (should I be first-hand embarressed??)

I watch some online live feed with that Anya chick (whose voice was oddly irritating for someone who wants to sing for a living). Looks like her role there was to tell everyone she sings on the soundtrack.

Anywho, they got a chance to interview him and his Oscarlicious self and in the process created the most awkward moment of the night by having this lovely girl (who was also wearing Bella’s bithday dress) tell Robward how his character in NM got her through the recent and untimely dath of her best friend and grand dad.

Rob was mortified… Being true classy (Drumk) Rob, he said the right thing, gave the girl a hug and got the Hale out of there. I cringed the whole time.

Word, I was so 2nd hand embarrassed there during that segment with Courtney that I had to pause the live feed. But Rob was a true gentleman there, for realz, I have to give Clare and Dick some credit for raising a great person. He could have been an ass about that whole situation, but he was really great.

Sounds so fun and I´m soo jelous, would have loved to be there. Or at least seen it happen live…For the sake of my husbands view of my sanity it was however a good thing that it aired at 3 am here and I had a business meeting to get up to in the korning… But now I´m in the office, suit on and meeting over, watching all the clips from last night and dreaming of losing that Rob virginity.

this is how messed up LTT?/R has made me: true story…this morning…on the radio…they said something completely unrelated that just sounded like ROUSes, and my brain immediately jumped to that pic of (hot) Keifer and StothePizzo’s comment about ROUSes the other day. Thank you all for infesting my brain like the fleas Bella got from Jacob!

Okay, stothe, I might start calling you stothePizzle. For good measure.

At my old waitressing job, we had this pizza that had some sweet onion drizzle on top. It was super good w/ the drizzle but most people think since it looks weird it must taste weird etc. So, we’d always ask rather than have a remake. Anyway, 9/10 times we ended up writing “Nizzle on the Drizzle” on the ticket. hehe.

There’s a reason this is the only Twilight blog I read, ladies. I love that you showed up hoping for the best the day of the premiere instead of marinating in yours and others’ filth for 4 days. You’re my people. Have a blast out there!

did anybody else notice that in the picture of Rob, where his eyes are WIDE open (didn’t know they could open that much) w/ the caption re: the licquor store, that he looks like the oldest son (actor Chad Allen, when he was young) on Dr. Quinn Med. Woman? that was weird… to me…

oh, yeah..i saw that comment up there. no worries… i think i’m on edge… you know… count-down and all that… you are not alone in the lack of NM opening night coverage… i didn’t see anything either… plus when i got the hub was grilling and i forgot about the tv… even though i had “wanted” to Taylor on Jay last night.

Are you really sick?! i’m so sorry! *hands bowl of soup* need Charlie Swan tissue? i had some made up especially for you… did you see the B.B. pictures i refered to you?

I’ve met SMeyer! She was cool… I stood there and words attempted to spill out of my mouth, but all I got was “H-h-h-h-i. Erm… ah… hmm, thanks” Yeah… FAILface. She was nice and now I have autographed copies of Twilight and The Host… :D So I made a fool outta myself but that’s NORMAL (I guess… isn’t it?).

I have a disproportionate brain to mouth filter ratio…so stop reading now if you are sensitive (you have been warned.)

Ashley finally got it right. Kristen has lovely skin. Kellan is in the right industry (or maybe politics), Jackson needs a stylist yesterday, Taylor takes instruction well, and there aren’t words in the english language available to articulate how pretty Rob is or how I dig his soul.

The vast majority of Twi fans scare me, make me feel better about myself (IYKWIS), and need prayer. You girls and my peeps round these parts, and Twitter make this fandom bearable. If it weren’t for this blog, plus a few select others, and the ‘normal’ chicks out there…I would have gauged my own eyes out by now.

All those other crazies (including the people in my real life who were constantly updating their facebooks with twilight flair and quizzes and made me want to scoop my brain out) were what kept me from reading the books and seeing the movie in the first place. Had I not stumbled across LTT and you lovely ladies, I may never have had the pleasure of the finer parts of this fandom. Viva la NORMAL.

aww looks like you guys had fun. i can’t beleive that there were protesters. oh well. i am going to have to stay off your blog and off of the for the next couple of weeks since we aren’t going to go see the movie until the first part of december. this makes me sad.

Good lord, that crap was crazy. I am at a loss for words. Major props to y’all for going to experience it, and still keeping your dignity amongst all the wackadoos. I’m so happy I didn’t get home from my meeting to see a pic of UC and Moon on twitter holding a sign up that read “Hey, Ashley – I’ll be your fake lesbian”….although, that may have been pretty funny.

hahahahahaha.
HAZAH! Finally a song to replace “Sparklepeen, sparklepeen” (to the tune of Spiderman Theme). That shiz has been stuck in my head for a week. Now I have a new tune to whistle while I work. THanks Egragious

I’m thinking maybe I can get the guy who plays Sawyer in Lost. Swoon. BUT, I’d LOVE LOVE LOVE to have David Anders (when he has long hair in Alias). But, he’s all blonde and not the appropraite height.

Do you think Bear Gryls would do it? ::falls over laughing:: My mother met him at some church seminar! Him and his entire family…including their Manny (male nanny).

I’m still thinking. Rugged, dark haired, 5 o’clock shadow. That’s my type to the maximum, so I’m just gonna have to rack my brain. All I can come up with is Billy Burke ::blush:: Any suggestions?

I’m glad that his super duper hot wife didn’t look that hot in that dress. Also, I got to see the pic of Dakota Fanning everyone’s been raving about. FTW! She’s smokin’ in that dress…wish she’d use some of the Aussie volumizing shampoo in her hair though.

I’m ashamed, i had to google who Garrett is. I thought that’s who he was, but I had to google to be sure (interesting note: I got all the way to the “w” in “Garrett Twilight” before it came up with any twi-related suggestions. Typically I type in something, like say “R” and it instantly comes up with Rob is Fucking Hawt dot come…oops another Freudian slip, I meant dot com anyway……)

Am I the only one that pictured Gerard Butler in my head while reading Garrett’s parts?

So, I looked up Garrett. He’s described as:
“a tall rangy vampire with eager ruby eyes and long sandy hair he kept tied back in a leather thong (thong, teehee)–and it was apparent immediately that he was an adventurer.

I think Josh Holloway might be the one… Though he’s 40, but I can still deal with that.

kristen was so beautifull . Ashley, nikki, elisabeth as well.
But what was that with christian serrato dress and her, i love her so much and here she look like a prostitute or a slut in hip hop music video. Usually she’s so fashion forward and apropriate. SM looks just awfull, to much make up and the wrong one.

I’m going to see the movie tomorow. The reviews are bad butyou never know maybe is not as kitch and cliche as they’re making it sounds. I really hope they ‘re wrong.

The only thing positive they’re saying is that the acting saved the movie.

I had to stifle (at work) a hearty laugh at the absurd truth of this statement. Whereas other movies may win or lose based on their quality, this series is carried so far by fanlove. NM could not suck hard enough to keep us away from Eclipse. Especially with a different director at the helm.

I don’t give too much credence to reviewers. I have yet to find one I consistently agree with.

I concur with your bit about reviewers. I don’t actually read or follow any reviews. I feel like I’ll always see something they mised. Plus they never watch the movie more than once. You can’t really take in a movie until at least a day or two later. And I can’t focus on everything the first time I see a movie because I’m such a story-driven and dialogue person.

OOOOOMMMMGGGG! YOU JUST MENTIONED Jordan Catalano! SQUEEEEEE! i loved My So-called Life! i super heart you for that reference! (remember how everyone on the show had to say his WHOLE name every time?!)

Dang it, I know this is the New Moon installment, but it might as well freaking Eclipse because it sure is eclipsing all my other responsibilities. I might be homeless by the time Breaking Dawn gets here.

Speaking of homeless… I’ve come to the conclusion that I might be overdoing it in the lusting for Rob department. On Saturday I was walking out of Whole Foods when I spotted a somewhat hobolicious looking twenty-something scruffy dude (plaid: check| beannie: check| stubble: check | abused jeans: check | blue eyes: check) based on those Rob qualifications I decided he reminded me of Rob. Then I noticed he was waving at me. My first thought was, “crap, he saw me giving him the Rob inspection, how first-hand embarrassing” So I turn to listen to what he is saying by removing my headphones (what? is normal to be listening to Rob while I shop for groceries) and then it hit me all at once, ONE: this IS NOT Rob and TWO: he is asking me for CHANGE… So I freaked out and got the Hale out of there! I even forgot to give him the change. How did this happen to me?

HA! This used to happen to me BEFORE Rob. I’d see a vaguely young, scruffy looking dude, do the ‘heeeelloo, you’re totally my type’ double take, and that’s when I notice the can of super strong beer and the fact they were a tramp.

I had the worst night ever. Moon promised me Big Daddy… and didn’t deliver. I told her I’m not leaving LA without seeing Big Daddy… that means I will continue to hog her covers on the bed for the rest of my life if we don’t see him soon…

:) (Thanks for all the sweet comments saying we represented the non-embarrassing fans…. thanks. we try)

So glad you guys enjoyed yourselves without crying or screeching. From one unpsycho fan that’s not down with wearing an “I want to be a stupid lamb!” tee to another, you guys are amazing. Here’s hoping I get to the Eclipse premiere just to experience that brand of crazy.

P.S. I think my husband might hate me a little….he did not appreciate me Tweeting and the constant pic surfing while I was at our oldest’s preschool parents meeting last night. Also did not help that I was having silent seizure laughter issues when I began thinking up lyrics about running over Anya “did you hear my song? Please give me validation” Marina to the tune of Satellite Heart.

i would say… go-for-it! you are obviously a lil bit of an over-the-top-fan (like me) to go to a minight movie anyway. i’ve been told that “regular fans” go at “regular” times… whatever babe! DO IT! embrace it! be PROUD! if i had one i’m pretty sure i’d wear it… and remember: it will be dark. ;)
